Vestosint® Polyamide 12 Coating Service
Durable. Versatile. Corrosion-Resistant.
Our Vestosint® Polyamide 12 (PA12) coating service provides a tough, smooth, and highly durable finish through Evonik-certified fluidized bed and electrostatic coating techniques. Using Vestosint® 1111 Fine Powders, a high-performance thermoplastic developed by Evonik, we deliver coatings that offer excellent adhesion, flexibility, and resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and impact — even in aggressive industrial or marine environments.
Why Choose Vestosint® Coating
Vestosint® coatings are engineered for outstanding mechanical strength and environmental stability, making them ideal for metal protection and functional finishing.
Key performance benefits include:
-
Exceptional corrosion resistance – effective against salt water, fuels, and a wide range of chemicals.
-
Superior abrasion and impact strength – minimal wear under high mechanical stress (Taber CS17 < 1 mg / 100 turns).
-
Excellent weatherability – stable gloss and adhesion even after long-term UV and outdoor exposure.
-
Low water absorption – maintains performance in humid or submerged conditions (≤ 1.9%).
-
High dielectric strength – up to 90 kV/mm, ideal for electrical insulation.
-
Non-toxic and compliant – meets modern environmental and safety standards (RoHS, REACH).
-
Smooth, aesthetic finish – available in various colors and gloss levels.
Applications
Vestosint® Polyamide 12 coatings are ideal for:
-
Industrial piping, valves, and fittings
-
Marine and offshore metal structures
-
Automotive and mechanical parts

Our Coating Process
Our coating procedures comply with Evonik’s official Vestosint® Coating Standards, ensuring excellent coverage, adhesion, and surface finish.
Surface Preparation
-
Grit blasting to SA 2.5/3 (ISO 8501-01) using angular steel grit or corundum.
-
Achieved roughness: Rz 35–45 µm.
-
Coating applied within 8 hours of surface prep to prevent oxidation.
Fluidized Bed Coating
-
Preheated components are immersed in a fluidized bed of Vestosint® 1111 powder, ensuring uniform coating build-up.
-
Typical coating thickness: 200–500 µm, depending on part geometry and service requirements.
-
Optimized for steel, aluminum, and galvanized substrates.
Electrostatic Spraying (Optional)
-
Electrostatic charge range: ±35–45 kV, current 10–30 µA.
-
Fusion at 190–210°C, ensuring full coalescence and excellent bonding.
-
Controlled cooling to preserve mechanical integrity and smooth surface finish.
